Man City chief Marwood raps Balotelli: You're no role model

The Sunday Mirror says Balotelli has been told by Manchester City that he is not the kind of role model they want at the club.

In a brutally honest assessment of the ­Italy international, City’s influential ­Football Administrator Brian Marwood admitted Balotelli has an image problem that is now causing concern within the hierarchy at the Etihad Stadium.

Asked what kind of role model ­Balotelli represents, Marwood admitted: “I think that it’s important to make a good example.

“I think – and we all know who we are talking about – that you will get people within the system who do not show the right values and the right behaviour.
